The University of Massachusetts received a $146,941 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems on October 1, 2021 to support work concluding on September 30, 2022. The grant funds the "Mapping Instability: Building an Intelligent Community Agent Platform for Understanding the Impact of Large Scale Crisis on Small Town Communities" project under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070).
This project aims to develop an artificial intelligence platform to analyze how large crises impact small communities. The platform will integrate data from various sources to map community instability and support understanding crisis impacts. Insights gained will help communities strengthen resilience against future disruptions. The work directly aligns with the program's goals of advancing computing and information sciences research with potential societal benefits.
